Management of a company that produces a medical device has carefully selected and screened 220 finished items (packaged, ready to ship). The team agrees that the sample contains 33 defective items, all for various visual defects on the package such as crooked labels, poor seal, errant marks on package, etc. The items are then given to an inspector for classification into “defective” and “non-defective” piles. The inspector ends up rejecting 9 non-defective items, and accepting 11 defective items. The

As quality control manager at a raisin manufacturing and packaging plant, you want to ensure that all the boxes of raisins you sell are comparable, with 30 raisins in each box. In the plant, raisins are poured into boxes until the box reaches its sale weight. To determine whether a similar number of raisins are poured into each box, you randomly sample 36 boxes about to leave the plant and count the number of raisins in each. You find the mean number of raisins in each box to be 29.86, with s = 3.87. Perform the 4 steps of hypothesis testing to determine whether the average number of raisins per box differs from the expected average 30. Use alpha of .05 and a two-tailed test.
If a hurricane was headed your way, would you evacuate? The headline of a press release states, "Thirty-two Percent of People on High-Risk Coast Will Refuse Evacuation Order, Survey of Hurricane Preparedness Finds." This headline was based on a survey of 4,625 adults who live within 20 miles of the coast in high hurricane risk counties of eight southern states. In selecting the sample, care was taken to ensure that the sample would be representative of the population of coastal residents in these states. In USE SALT (a) Use this information to estimate the proportion of coastal residents who would evacuate using a 98% confidence interval. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) (b) Write a few sentences interpreting the interval and the confidence level associated with the interval. We are % confident that the proportion of all coastal residents who -Select-- v evacuate is within the confidence interval. If we were to take a large number of random samples of size 4,625, % of the…
To test the fairness of law enforcement in Bartow County, a local citizens' group want to know whether women and men are unequally likely to get speeding tickets. Two hundred adults in Bartow County are randomly phoned and asked whether or not they had been cited for speeding in the last year. For a sample of 114 women, 12 were ticketed and 102 were not ticketed. For a sample of 86 men, 11 were ticketed and 75 were not ticketed. Use a 0.05 level of significance to test the claim that women and men are unequally likely to get speeding tickets. Women are sample proportion 1. Men are sample proportion 2. What is the z-test statistic for this problem? Round the answer to two decimal places. What is the p-value for this problem? Round the answer to three decimal places. What is the conclusion when you compare the p-value and the level of significance,? What is the conclusion based on the original claim?
Out of the four diagnose cells, how many demonstrate an observed cell count greater than what would be expected under independence between the neurologist ratings?
It’s assumed that students need to stay awake more to study during finals week. One way to measure this is how much coffee is consumed during Finals week at night. A local coffee house near APU counted the number of cups of coffee sold per hour during Finals week after 6 p.m. We randomly select ten (10) hours of sales records during Finals week and find out that the following number of cups of coffee were consumed: 18, 17, 22, 14, 17, 20, 22, 24, 15, 15 By comparison, the sales records from a previous week were used as a comparison. The following number of cups of coffee were consumed over a seven (7) hour period: 9, 13, 5, 15, 17, 10, 11 a. Determine what is the appropriate statistical procedure, with a brief explanation (one sentence) as to why this is the appropriate procedure. b. State the null hypothesis. c. Execute the proper calculations with the appropriate procedures. d. Present a graph when appropriate of your results. e. Include any appropriate post-hoc tests. f. State…

Electric Engineer Co Ltd buys electrical components in batches of 2000. From time to time a batch is randomly selected and, for quality control purposes, all the components are inspected. The data gives the number of defective components found in 90 batches recently bought. 30, 17, 18, 20, 21, 25, 26, 27, 27, 28, 30, 30, 32, 32, 33, 34, 35, 37, 39, 40, 40, 41, 43, 43, 49, 44, 44, 48, 45, 43, 47, 48, 42, 47, 49, 45, 49, 50, 51, 52, 52, 57, 58, 50, 59, 56, 57, 52, 54, 58, 58, 59, 52, 67, 61, 68, 62, 69, 67, 68, 64, 65, 68, 77, 79, 79, 77, 73, 75, 77, 76, 71, 72, 79, 80, 81, 83, 82, 84, 88, 86, 89, 98, 92, 95, 99, 80, 25, 78, 45. (a) Construct a stem and leaf display for the number of defective components. (b) Using the stem and leaf, evaluate the median, lower quartile, upper quartile and the interquartile range of the given distribution.

The school district sets up two locations to help students with technical difficulties over the summer. They believe the technicians they have assigned to location 2 are being lazy and not helping students as much as they should be so they take a random sample of 15 students from each of the two locations and ask if their technical issue had been resolved (over 200 students had asked for assistance at each location). Twelve of the 15 students from location 1 reported their technical issue had been resolved and 8 of the 15 students from location 2 reported their technical issue had been resolved. Is this convincing evidence that the technicians from location 2 are being lazy and not helping students as much as those from location 1?
